                + Summary:
                      # Overall WG considers things worked well
                      # Would like to see better alignment with something 
like reference impl / test suite
                      # Better/more examples around how to adopt the spec
                      # Continue to be scenario driven 
                + Proposed actions:
                      # Encourage contribution and development of RI & 
test suites from WG participants
                      # Better issue tracker for open-services.net
                      # Work on primer, tutorials, articles to help 
explain how to adopt the spec
                      # Improve process for out-of-band reviews / decision 
making
                      # Improve traceability and background of how 
specification conclusions were reached. 
                + AndreWeinand - will come back to WG
                + ScottBosworth - better examples, practical use of 
shapes, practical use of state predicates 
          o Goal is to elaborate catalog of scenarios and prioritize for 
spec work
          o Updated scenarios:
                + ScenariosMylyn - elaborate on attachment needs and what 
did/didn't make 2.0 * Need a way to delete attachments * Not necessarily 
need a way to modify but maybe replace/update and existing file.
                + CmScenariosApplicationAnalysisTools - clarified usage of 
attachments and minimal properties * Be good if there was a formatting 
standard for descriptions, rich text fields. Look to create another 
standard.
                + ITOpsToDev - terminology and misc updates 
          o Progress on CmAttachments scenario elaboration * Outlined out 
it could work based on current implementation restrictions. Next steps to 
look at alternative approaches and come up with recommendations.
          o ScottBosworth recommended tracking how ChangeLog may expose 
itself in a domain spec
          o Identify specification needs/approach to support prioritized 
scenarios: CmScenarios
          o 3.0 Themes CmArchitecturalDirectionV3 
    * Next meetings:
          o Mar 9 - Elaborate on scenarios, identify specification needs 
(rescheduled from 3/2)
          o Mar 16 - Elaborate on scenarios, identify specification needs
